Wanda, Vol. 2 (of 3)

Wanda von Szalras has returned to her ancestral estate, but isolation and duty weigh upon her like a second skin. As political storm clouds gather over Europe and war threatens to shatter the continent's peace, she finds herself pulled between the quiet solitude of Hohenszalras and the glittering, dangerous demands of Vienna's court. Her heart remains tangled with the Marquis de Sabran, whose fate grows increasingly uncertain as the threat of conflict intensifies. This volume finds Wanda at a crossroads: between obligation and longing, between the role she was born to play and the desires that consume her. Ouida weaves a tale of romantic anguish and political tension, exploring what it means to be a woman whose private sorrows mirror the public unrest of her era.
